bcrypt

Installation

Add the following to Cargo.toml:

toml bcrypt = "0.8"

The minimum Rust version is 1.34.0 (or 1.36.0 when using the alloc feature instead of std).

Usage

The crate makes 3 things public: DEFAULT_COST, hash, verify.

```rust extern crate bcrypt;

use bcrypt::{DEFAULT_COST, hash, verify};

let hashed = hash("hunter2", DEFAULT_COST)?; let valid = verify("hunter2", &hashed)?; ```

The cost needs to be an integer between 4 and 31 (see benchmarks to have an idea of the speed for each), the DEFAULT_COST is 12.

Benchmarks

Speed depends on the cost used: the highest the slowest. Here are some benchmarks on a 2019 Macbook Pro to give you some ideas on the cost/speed ratio. Note that I don't go above 14 as it takes too long.

test bench_cost_10 ... bench: 51,474,665 ns/iter (+/- 16,006,581) test bench_cost_14 ... bench: 839,109,086 ns/iter (+/- 274,507,463) test bench_cost_4 ... bench: 795,814 ns/iter (+/- 42,838) test bench_cost_default ... bench: 195,344,338 ns/iter (+/- 8,329,675)

Recommendations

While bcrypt works well as an algorithm, using something like Argon2 is recommended for new projects.
